- Great, effective and gentle full body all standing Pilates workout. These exercises are perfect for Seniors and Beginners or anyone who is not comfortable getting on the floor or on their hands and knees.
We will work all the major muscle groups in this full body workout. There are lots of posture and balance exercises as well. Everything is low impact and effective.
As always, go at your own pace and work your way up if you find some the exercises challenging. Just go slow, take a break when needed and return when you are ready.
You don’t need any equipment for this standing Pilates workout with the exception of a chair to aid with some moves including stretching.
We will finish the workout feeling relaxed yet energized!
Let me know how you liked the video in the comments, I love to read them and to see how strong our SeniorShape community is growing!
Here is the link to the Barreletics shoes I’m wearing. I love wearing them for Pilates workouts because they are supportive and allow my toes to grip the mat which helps for balance. Enter “SeniorShape” at checkout so they know I sent you. Thank you for your support!

Thank you. This started my day off in a positive way. I feel refreshed and as if I have done something good for myself
That’s great Cate! You have done something good for yourself 🙌🏻
I am 73. Just started my day with you about 3 times a week. Enjoying it! Thank you.
I am 86 years old. I go to a studio for reformer work Mondays and Fridays. I do yourclasses Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday to keep myself moving in between studio classes. I'm so happy I found you, Lauren. You are magic!!❤
That's great Barbara! I'm so impressed :)
Hi. I am 69 years old and love your workouts.
Another standing pilates workout would be great.
Thanks so much! Did you do this new standing pilates workout? ua-cam.com/video/V2kcucJ4PJQ/v-deo.html
I'm 70, and just did this for the first time. One of the things I love about Lauren's workouts is that she alternates between the "tough" moves and the easier moves, so it motivates me to keep going. Thank you, Lauren!
Ha! You are on to me and my tactics :)
So glad you are enjoying my workouts!!
I love love ❤❤❤ all your workouts. Im 70 yrs young with muscle damage. After doing your workouts I feel great. Thanks, Juliet
Thank you Juliet, that's great to hear!!
Thankyou Lauren added this onto the cardio class great as usual have a lovely weekend see you on Monday 🙋💐❤️
Great job!
I'm 67, and this was a challenge which is what I am looking for. I know it will take me a while to get where I want to be, but I believe this is an excellent start.
Great job Marne! Starting is the hardest part 💜
Thank you very much for a great standing Pilates workout! 😊
I have really been enjoying your pilates and barre workouts. I find my posture improving, and my knees and hips less reactive. I've been working on remembering to keep my shoulders back and down, my core engaged, and my pelvis slightly tucked. Thank you, Lauren!😊
Wonderful! Love to hear that Sindy 🤩
Such a wonderful workout! I loved the beautiful background music, so soothing and gentle, just like your voice. Thank you, Lauren!
My pleasure Karen :)
Thanks, Lauren
You’re welcome Laila 🤩
Great Pilates workout with fantastic accommodations! Thank you!!❤
Glad you enjoyed it! You are very welcome Blythe :)
First time trying Pilates at 63! This really kicks butt-- if you are keeping your core taut and posture aligned and controlling those movements! WOW. Feeling like jello but also great! Loving the challenges of all your workouts. They are just right for me and where I am in my fitness journey.
Wonderful Gabriella! I'm so glad you tried this workout and are feeling the benefits :)
Love your standing pilates workouts ❤
Thanks Penny! Try the Stretch and Stength I posted a few months ago. It’s very much Pilates inspired 🤩
I really enjoyed this workout. I have gone from 1.5kg weights to 3kg. Your calm approach is perfect for me. Thank you Lauren.
Great job! You are most welcome Karyn 🤩
Lauren, I really enjoyed this workout. I feel taller and straighter now, thank you!!!🌻😊
Happy to hear it Jacqueline :)
The workout with you was pleasant for my soul and body, in spite of the fact, that I had to grab my chair very often. Thank you!
You’re welcome! No worries about grabbing the chair. 🤩
This workout was exactly what you said: gentle yet really effective! I broke a sweat, stretched my body, and feel nice and relaxed. Thanks so much!
Wonderful! Happy to hear it Melanie :)
Hi i am 64 years and realy feel good after i started this work out thank you so much ❤❤😊
Wonderful! You are very welcome Cindy :)
Well that answers that question, "Wondering if this workout will be enough abs" Oh yes ! Check that off for the day. Thanks for keeping us in check with the abs. So easy to (undo) the engagement. I have been working hard on not popping the lower ribs. Found that not only helps for my tummy to be more flat, but immediately helps me line up my spine from top to bottom when my sciatica is roaring and pain relief is immediate. Good Workout !!! Oh and thanks for keeping us "Honest" !
Yay! So glad you liked it! I think you may be my best student Tracy! 🙌🏻😍
@@SeniorShapeFitness I am sure I am your best fan, my friend. =)
Hi, yes I have a question,
I'm getting cramp in my neck, after getting out of bed in the morning. Is there an exercise that can help me? I've purchased a pillow, to see if it helps.
Thanks for any advice 🙏 😊
That's why I love Lauren she give us cues with a warm up and cool down and always answers our comments. So many You Tube videos these days are just music and some even say be sure to warmup so one would need to do a separate warmup which isn't appropriate for a 65 year old like me with Arthritis.
@@tracyheath6076 nope I am 😆
Love your Barre Classes! You’re workout was so much fun and like my old class which I cannot attend until my wrist heels. Thank you so much for having this class available!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for another great workout, Lauren! This was more “friendly” than another Pilates workout I attempted to do on the floor a bit back. I love the emphasis on core and balance, which is so important as we get older!
Wonderful! Glad it's a good workout for you Jeanne :)
Great start this fall morning
thanks Mary! Have a great weekend :)
I feel amazing after I finished Pilates yoga stretch! Thanks for your helpful videos!
My pleasure :) I love that you feel amazing!!
Thank you again. I did the workout with my runners on rather than bare feet. Probably provided a little more balance on some of those moves. Excellent as always.
Thanks so much Lynn!
First time doing your Pilates. Loved the class will repeat again!❤
Wonderful! Thanks for trying it Jeannette :)
Love these amazing workouts Lauren keep them coming 🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Lauren, thank you very much.
This kind of routine makes me suffer because of my excess weight and my lack of flexibility but I understand that they are necessary to be able to get in shape.
I trust your guidance a lot and I am sure that I will achieve my goals with your help.
A hug and have a good day.
I love your positive attitude Mario. I hope you have a good day as well :)
I love the way you teach. I am 80 and when I started this class 3 weeks ago ,I couldn’t finish it. Now if feel stronger having done the class every day and can follow it to the end. Thank you for posting these video.❤
Wonderful! Great job Enrica. You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words. I have more standing pilates videos for you as well when you are ready for a little variety :)
Love this program ❤💪
Happy to hear it Ruth :)
Another winner!
Great! Thank you Maria 🤩
Hi Lauren! I love this Pilates routine.
Awesome to hear! Thanks Carla :)
Just perfect for beginners 😊
Glad it's a good workout for you :)
Always feel great after doing one of your sessions! Thank you.
Wonderful! You're most welcome Donna :)
Love the workout makes my day a lot more productive thank you for being fun
You're so welcome! It's great to hear you think it's fun Sylvia :)
Another great workout. Thanks again for providing such excellent quality and variety.
Glad you like them! 🤩🙌🏻
Really enjoyed this workout. I am new to pilates and find it difficult to do much on the floor due to injured knee, so to find all standing pilates is great. I feel toned, relaxed and energised. Thank you so much
You are most welcome! I have several more standing Pilates workouts as well 🤩
I just did this workout for the first time & really enjoyed it!
Great Stacy! Thanks for trying it :)
Thank you for yet again, another incredible workout Lauren! Your channel provides so many options and so many accommodations. Your videos have helped me so much to navigate issues with balance and autoimmunity and now with a sore knee, I have been able to find several of your standing videos which are gold. I so appreciate the options you provide for everybody and every body!!
It's my pleasure. I'm thrilled that they have been helpful to you :)
This was a good and very challenge workout. I haven’t really been workout for a while due to stomach issue but this was a good start to get back in to swing of things! 😊
Great job getting back into it Neta! Happy it was a good workout for you :)
Love the standing workouts 😊
Thanks Cathy :D
I enjoyed this workout, and Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it Felicity :)
This was a super workout! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Lisa :)
Thankyou Lauren it's very hot here so this class was perfect today 🥵🙋💐
you bet Julie, stay cool!!
Excellent routine! Thanks!
You're so welcome! Thanks Jackie :)
This was such a gentle and kind on my body workout. Your calm instruction was appreciated. I’m working my way through all your workouts and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. Thank you for providing beautiful, enjoyable, and high quality workouts. ❤️
Thanks for appreciating them Traci! 😍
Hi Lauren. I wanted to do something gentle today, and I haven't done pilates in awhile, so this was perfect. Many thanks!💖🩷
So glad! You are most welcome as always Rene :)
You are the sweetest. 😊💓@@SeniorShapeFitness
Loved the video. I used 1 pound hand weights for added resistance.
Nice work! 🤩
Brilliant, thankyou!
Thanks so much Nicola!!
Feel good after this workout😊
I love to hear that! Thanks you 💜
Amazing, I haven't done any exercise for 6 months except gardening and walking. I needed to beat my sluggish phase and this workout was amazing, I did sweat and I feel in my legs massively the workout. Such a calm and lovely instructor and I plan to thus this every morning to get my body ready fir the day.
Wonderful! Glad it's a good workout for you Charlene :)
Thank you Ms Lauren!! I am 56 and recently retired. You have helped me gently get back into working out each day with both Pilates and Yoga...I am trying every one of your workouts, cardio too! Your demeanor is encouraging and sweet! Is is a good idea to do a different one each day or do one type back to back? Tracey❤
Great job Tracey! I prefer to do a different workout each day. If you would like some guidance I provide a weekly workout guide. I post suggested workouts for the week every Sunday. You can find it in the playlist section or community tab of my channel's main page.
Thank You so much!
You're welcome! Thanks for working out with me :)
I think I’m so conditioned to think fast and heavy is what is effective, so my mind was telling me during this one that it wasn’t doing anything, but at the same time, I feel nice and relaxed and enjoyed the movements. Love the variety you offer!
Thanks Kimber! It's still super effective, but you're right, sometimes it can be difficult to slow down. If you wanted to add a little intensity to this one (and other standing pilates) you could add some wrist and ankle weights :)
A great workout, thank you, I am starting to do the weekly plans.
You're so welcome! Happy to have you working out with me Susan :)
I love your workouts !! Keep them coming
Thank you so much, I sure will!
Wow...great workout...not going to lie, I am going to be sore tomorrow 😂. At least I know I have done something and will feel good about it. Thank you Lauren and Mike...see you tomorrow ❤🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
Good for you Sharon!
While it may not “look” like much, it “feels” like a lot, in a very good way. Thanks, Lauren. 🙏🏻
absolutely Lynn!!!
Omg perfect foe begginers

Perfect way to start my Sunday. Excited to incorporate Pilates into my wellness plan!
Wonderful! Pilates has so many great benefits :)

Yay! Thank you! I love that you feel great Michelle :)
Just recently tried pilates. Love it.
That's great Janet! Pilates is so good for your body!
Love this gentle and easy workout ad melt with the beautiful music in the background and your clear, soft instructions. Thank you so much for this fine choreography.
You're so welcome! I’m thrilled you love it Lynn 🤩
Another good one!
Glad you think so! Thanks Ann :)
❤ This is exactly what I needed. I lost 25 pounds and still felt like I needed something to help me feel better. Thank you!!! You make it easy to follow for us seniors. 65 and getting better.
That's great Laurie!
Thank you for doing these beginner workouts!!! Love the fact that this is available for someone older and not as strong or flexible. I am looking forward to increasing my strength and flexibility as I do them!
You're so welcome! Great plan Janet 🤩
thank you .i enjoyed it will definitely do it again.
Wonderful! Thanks Vivi! 💜
This is my new favorite Pilates workout! I cannot believe how much stronger two months of your Pilates routines have made me! I'm a believer! 💛💛💛
You’re the best Laura! So glad you are seeing results 🙌🏻
Hi again. This is my third video workout with you and I love it. I’m 72 and truly appreciate you caring about senior health ❤
Awesome Toni! I'm thrilled to hear you love it :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness ❤️
did this workout after the 30 minute hitt cardio. great job. no strain on my knees and felt challenged. met my zone minutes with mostly fatburn. I think that at my age and with my knee, 10,000 steps a day is too much. I am finding that with 4000 to 6000 steps a day and some strength training I am meeting my goals. Thanks so much for your videos. The every other day home walking workouts have been helping me to shed weight and I don't want to give them up.
That sounds like a good plan Terri! Nice job listening to your body :)
Thanks!
Thank you so much Leanna! Much appreciated ;)
Never tried this video before really excellant thank yiu ❤
My pleasure Anne :)
Thanks again. I have a good work out
You're so welcome! Thanks Rosie :)
I really love the slow, gentle exercises in this video. I felt refreshed and ready for my day after doing this. Thank you Lauren.
Wonderful! You are most welcome Rebecca :)
Did this with wrist weights.. good workout!! Thank you
Awesome! You are welcome, great job adding the wrist weights!
You are great! My daughter suggested your site to me and it is wonderful! Cheers fm Florence italy
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you are enjoying the workouts 🙌🏻🤩
Fabulous workout. I feel the stretch. Appreciate movement, pace, music and your calm supportive voice. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments Anastacia! 😍💐
Everything about your video is awesome..Above all your respond to comments is more motivating..thnx..
Thank you so much 😀 That's so kind of you Joy !
Just starting to look for Pilates or Yoga, chair and standing, for seniors. This was a good work out for me. Thank you very much.
Wonderful! glad to hear it JoAnn :)
Great Pilates! Easy to perform movements, but very effective in improving flexibility throughout the body. Thank you so much, Lauren!
My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed it 🤩
Thank you. Do you know how many beginning pilates workout s for seniors there are, starting on the floor. Literally, for me to get down there could be a comedy routine!
This is appreciated.
I'm so glad you found me and the workout was good for you Alexandra! I also have a seated pilates routine, and you may like my barre workouts as well! They are similar to this standing pilates.
Just what I needed today after hurting all weekend. 💕
Glad it was a good one for you Kathy :) sorry to hear you were hurting :(
Great video, even with my fused spine I could do most of the moves, thank you Lauren. I too feel like you’re looking right at me and reminding me to breathe, hold my abds etc.😊
Great to hear Robyn, thank you! 💜
Love it Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks :)
Lauren, I am really enjoying your videos. Ive been doing them for 3 mo. now. I like that you have such a variety of programs at all different time lengths so i can customize my work out based on how much time i have and what areas i want to work. I see patients at a weight loss clinic and exercise is a part of every patient's plan. If they do not have a routine, I will give them your name to start exercising. My one suggestion for a new routine, for me, would be this- i get migranes, and on those days cannot work out in the morning. Come afternoon or evening when headache is better, I want to work out but I can't do standing or bouncing workouts. Im looking for a complete work out 45-1hr routine that is all mat work (including weights). Thank you again for making me feel stronger, more flexible, and more stable.
Great! Thank you so much for sharing my channel!
Re: your own workout, have you done this one? 40 minutes on the mat. ua-cam.com/video/NiEvPcZ0Dig/v-deo.html
Enjoyed- thank you.😊
You’re welcome 😊
Did 3 or your workouts today. Together for one hour and ten min.😅 feeling good!
Thanks,
Merry Christmas!!
BB
Awesome! Merry Christmas :)
Yay!!!! 7# all the way!!
You are the Best! I couldn’t do this without you❤❤❤
🎉 good for you!
I had not stretched alot of the muscles that I stretched today since my spine surgery two years ago. The movements and stretching felt relieving on my back. Thank you for thinking about us seniors and our exercise needs.
Wonderful! You're welcome Lidia, I'm so glad that this workout made you feel good!
This is amazing. You are so special. Somehow I couldn't press on the like button. I even asked my husband...seems somethings wrong..you deserve a big 👍
Thanks Tessa! Maybe you already pressed the like button so it wouldn’t allow you to do it again. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for the NICE video
My pleasure 💜
Nice! One of the side turns got a lot of stiff spine work in! Thanks!
Excellent! Great to hear Naomi, thanks :)
Thankyou Lauren another great class been Christmas shopping with my friend today a great class to end the day see you tomorrow 💗🙋
That sounds like fun Julie :)
My first time with Pilates. Great stretch! Thank you ❤
You are welcome Cynthia. Thank you for trying it :)
Thanks, Lauren, for this workout. I have been doing your standing workouts for a few weeks now, and this morning my lower back was really bothering me. I may have overdone it yesterday. But I didn't want to skip a day, so I was happy to find this gentle, standing workout. Your workouts are great. I love that they are challenging. But every now and then it's also nice to do an easy, gentle one. Thanks again!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you are enjoying my workouts Kiki! Thanks for the lovely feedback :)
This was a great effective pilates workout. Thank you for your many thoughtful workouts.
You're so welcome! Thanks for working out with me Teresa 😍
Feel absolutely amazing thank you see u tomorrow
Wonderful! Until tomorrow Sandra 💜
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm currently recovering from Lipoedema extraction surgery of my legs and my mobility is still poor. I've been craving moving my body as I did pre-surgery but it's tough finding movements I can actually execute. Your videos are helping me get those exercises endorphins that I crave so much whilst I recover and I'm sure its helping with swelling and lymphatic system too.
Absolutely! Keep up the good work 🤩
I feel awesome
Yay! Great to hear Lilian :)
Great work out 👏
Thanks Leah, glad you like it :)
